Hi, thanks for your question and it raises several great points: how much is too much? What is the optimal amount of time to sit for? And does a harder session mean we are getting better results? Let's take one at a time If it feels like too much time, it probably is. It's best to approach meditation much like anything else in life: start small , build up slowly and find your own personal sweet spot. For some people, this sweet spot is 10 minutes and for others, it's 60 minutes.
As for the final question: without wanting to sit on the fence, everything is about balance. If the session feels unbearable and continues to feel unbearable, and we are unable to discover the source of that resistance, then that is not time well spent.
At the same time, it is often in those more challenging sessions that we discover the most about ourselves. You just need to do it. You need to start and you need to keep going. Pick the amount of time that works for you and do it every day. After a few weeks, then you can start to evaluate the impact and results of the meditation.
I meditate to experience the part of me that feels limitless. But also, I love life more when I meditate. I feel more connected to life and the cosmos. These are real results of my practice. Is it better than going to the movies? Well, let me answer this way. It makes the movies even better. It makes everything a little better. So when it comes to the question of how much time you should put in to get results?
Just pick a number you can manage, be consistent, and get busy letting go. Get ready to change everything with this free day program. Over 1 million others have joined. Are you next?
